Exanima - Bloody Dark Medieval Action RPG

[@l0rf]

I remember following this game on moddb 9 years ago. It's still on version 0.8, last I checked... and this is meant as a sort of small scale introduction to an open world game using these mechanics. Looking forward to playing that in 60 years.

Man, I remember the Devs of this game asking questions on an arms and armour forum around 10 years ago. Payed off, easily the most realistic depiction of how armour actually affects combat and injury

[@blahblahbleh3644]

This game is an "acquired taste" you wont like it inbthe beginning but once you realise how the control works , you're gonna play this for hours.

[@l0rf]

Especially once you get past the ragged clothes and rusty rebar weapons stage and find full plate armour while fighting armoured undead or demons... the one time I found the golem I got launched into a wall weapon rack by his first attack and was stuck there with my character wrapped around the static object and wedged against the wall...

[@MrDelightfulRPG]

Maybe. I could see people liking Exanima for its dark fantasy dungeon crawler vibe, with realistic weapons and armor and being drawn in from there, but the combat is both a blast of fresh air, and a slam to the gut to the typical ARPG expectations. Exanima is defiantly not easy to pickup, as the VERY nonstandard control scheme will definitely throw people off, as they attempt to wasd their way around and wonder why they get crushed. Course, they’re going to get crushed anyway, as it’s part of the learning process here. A Primer video like Splat’s, or perhaps even my own, would serve to dip peoples’ toes in, and give them some idea how it plays, but without actually playing it, you can’t really know. Definitely a game you have to develop a feel for, to really get the Feels for.

[@krisreed5536]

I can see how some people might like this game, but after 20+ hours I gave up. Enemies become so tanky later on so I found myself needing a two handed weapon or sword and shield to stay alive, but these areas have more pitch black areas than in the start, I couldn't see anything. It just got frustrating at that point and I wasn't having fun.

[@MrDelightfulRPG]

@@krisreed5536 I just did a bit of experimenting, and you can drop your torch, and it will still provide light to fight by, creating a portable pool of light in which to fight your foes. Maybe keep it in your main slot, than drop it when battle begins and you swap over to your main set? That could work, though I’m no where as far as you. I’ve also heard talk of magical helms that provide light, so it seems the darkness is intended to be an element of the dungeon environment for the player to overcome. Ultima Underworld did something similar.

[@krisreed5536]

@@MrDelightfulRPG Appreciate the tip! I honestly don't remember if I ever did that, been about a year since I played. I only remember running for my life through pitch black corridors and cursing that I couldn't swap primary and secondary on the fly. That might have been what did me in, in the end, I got too jaded playing the game :D

18:35 Remember, if you repair a "well made" piece of gear with a repair orb it gets WAY better stats than the same gear of worse make.

[@kenmolinaro]

16:23 if you had walked forward and taken the door on your right you could have found a special utility item. (Forward as in the direction your character is facing) That room has a compass in it. As long as it is in your inventory you get a compass UI element added to the screen.

[@younger303]

I think the best description of this game is: " You got piss drunk, passed out, woke up wearing nothing but your undies in a dungeon, also you're still drunk for the rest of the game. "

[@fpsmeter]

One of the most underrated games out there. Combat system seems super weird and random at first but once you learn how to "git gud" it becomes extremely satisfying, and there's nothing random about it.

[@arcanumelite4853]

the blunt weapons are ALOT more useful later on in the game... when you start going up against enemies in heavy/plate armor... since bladed weapons wont do much damage against heavy armor.

If you find a KZbinr that is really experienced in this game the combat looks fantastic. This is one of those games that is a real challenge to master but pays off when you do.

[@moomah5929]

Nice mentioning Ultima when talking about dressing up your character. I'm still have a soft spot for the paper doll dressing of Ultima Underworld but also Ultima 7, UO and so on. In Ultima Underworld you also had worn items they looked already damaged and would break faster, still not like in modern games where items fall apart when enemies sneeze at you.

[@johnd5529]

yesssss this game needs more advertising. it is severally underrated

[@HumanityAsCode]

The way the action is so dynamic in this game makes the skill ceiling so high that even after putting a couple 100 hours into it I'm not sure I've really seen the peak of what's possible. There are so many ways to fight and little tricks you learn to give yourself your options or become more deadly. It's incredible

[@jollytrolley9655]

It's great that you're checking this out. I just started playing this game again a couple days ago due to the update. I just stick to arena mode though. Some elements of the campaign are too hardcore to the point where it's just annoying, but it's fun the first few times to see how far you can get

[@christian_gamer_guy6447]

What is arena mode like?

[@jollytrolley9655]

@@christian_gamer_guy6447 You make and manage your own team essentially and select what fights you want to get straight into with each person.

The opponents and gear you can buy are all procedurally generated, and the mode itself never ends as far as I know; Well, unless you fight with your manager and die, lol.

Underrated game. Creative combat mechanic and use of weapons and armors.

[@K3end0]

This is a cool little game, put a good chunk of time in it. I just wish it wasn't so damn cryptic. The game doesn't have any real way to learn without knowing about the practice modes, and playing the campaign mostly involves you looting all the chests and cupboards like a goblin or getting lost in the maze. It really takes a while to "learn" this game xD. Your vid is actually a good tutorial, good vid splattercat!

[@joewilson3393]

So you are saying Splat, who won't play tutorials, made a good tutorial.

[@Mallard792]

Honestly that's part of the game though, you explore everything and find out through trial and error. The combat only seems clunky at first, if you play around with it gets easier but never predictable.

[@lukeroberts649]

If they keep this pace up, The game may actually release before the apocalypse!

[@SalmonCaramel]

This is one of my favorite early access games I own (tho I don't own many), but my god is the development of it at a snail's pace. And it also heavily caters to the demands of the players on the developer's discord, which includes only the hardcore mf'ers. I hope the game's core gameplay stays as-is, all they need to make it a great game is to add more content rather than change how the fundamental mechanics work. Well, rant over. Thanks for the vid, Splat!

[@DamsdelDrennon]

I understand why it could be frustrating, for me, I don't mind, I'm more intrigued than put off. The lighting and combat system create a very strong ambiance.

[@lukusblack6442]

There are a few rather interesting mechanics,... The weapon velocity is cool if you can swing it. I do love how zombies can run... really, actually run after you. The no-aggro thing is an interesting mechanic as well.

[@l0rf]

I find the weapon swing to be very inconsistent and unintuitive. It seems like the largest acceleration happens either right at the start of the attack or near the end of the swing but with an abrupt stop right after... really not how you'd fight in reality.

[@Melanrick]

You don't know what fear is until you have Sir chasing you, lol

[@l0rf]

@PrisonBlock Canada I agree that in a game you can have a disconnect from how you'd act to how the game portrays that... but Exanima adds about two more layers of disconnect from the action with the physics engine dictating so much of the combat...

[@MrDelightfulRPG]

I like Exanima. Thanks for reminding me about it Splat! I made a video or few on it myself, as this new update gives fresh hope that the devs have not abandoned their baby, which is great sense it has been in Early Access since 2015! People just naturally start to worry when a game has been baking in the oven for over 6 years, but in this case, I think someday it might actually release! But beyond that, as you showed in your video, the combat really is unique, and is fully worth the purchase price. Beyond the excellent reminder video, it was the physics based combat that drew me to Exanima, & it is good. To briefly remind people about Exanima: The combat breaks down to timing & distance, & Exanima showcases that nicely, putting the focus on the footwork needed to close the distance for the strike, then dashing back to avoid the incoming hit. As each weapon & object has physics, the length of your chosen weapon really matters in Exanima, as if you have a longer weapon, you should try to keep distance so you can best use it. And if you have an axe or mace, you should aim to hit your foe with the weapon head, not the less beefy shaft. Gotta wack em with the meaty end! 👍

[@Kareszkoma]

The fighting system of is really good. The way the zombie hit the door, and couldn't move through. The way he fallen against the table. The way their axe, and sword gets caught in things. Brilliant. Just Brilliant.

[@Acidicstudios]

At the 25 minute mark when Splatty walks into the room with the two corpses, Exanima shows off 'by far' it's biggest flaw. The key to that door in the corner is under the table with the jar on it. How would you ever find that? Well you wouldn't, ever. Some keys and items that are CRUCIAL for progression can be hidden like that. This game is great, but that really needs to be fixed.

[@l0rf]

Agreed. There is no way to highlight progression items, it took me quite a while to even realise which chests can be opened. You can't expect a player to pick up every item in the game to see what it does when you fill the world with so much clutter

25:44 XP does not only come from combat. Exploration also gives significant amounts of xp.

[@mega0056]

8:00 actually from personal experience the red circle is generally where you attacks will land in general. That's like the "apex" or end of your swing. So when I attack I usually wind up the swing and land the red circle where I want to hit the target and it usually lands where the circle is. Although it is definitely more noticeable with the stab. When I play I tend to use sword and shield and that's nice once you get the perk that allows you to attack and block at the same time. I am glad to hear there is a checkpoint system in the game. I'll have to check it out. Thanks for checking out this game again splat. It's very cool but can be very frustrating at times. My favorite game mode is the arena management one. It allows you to fully explore the combat and weapons and armor of the game. 8:41 lmao best description of the game "drunken knife fights".

[@theminerboy5694]

@PrisonBlock Canada Its because the Exanima devs created their own engine from scratch for the game.

[@IndustrialBonecraft]

"It's gonna be a while until you get a real weapon..." he said, clutching a machete and with a sodding battleaxe in his inventory. The thing about Exanima is that it isn't your granny's DnD power fantasy. You ain't some hero. You're some shlub wandering around a bunch of tunnels getting into backalley brawls with the local wildlife and getting knocked over tables as a result, and then tripping on someone's corpse while trying to save your own life. The physics have improved a hell of a lot over time, but I always loved how much the environment could effect a fight and how desperate every encounter felt as a result. You can trip over a barstool and someone can come over and cave your skull in with a literal candlestick while you're on the floor. And you just have to deal with it. That more than anything will piss a lot of people off, even after they get used to the awkward controls.

[@MardaxGames]

as for Visual aspect this game and previous "Spark in the Dark " are very similar :D

[@gamenrage5998]

It was nice of the dev's to spawn you a good long axe to do the video, or you just got lucky but i would be more to say the first over the second just to get sells of course and let people think it's all possible not buying it. Hard core for sure!

[@Rickenization]

Did you explain that keeping the mouse cursor on the enemy in combat mode and not attacking makes you block? I'm pretty sure that used to be a feature. Although I haven't played it for a couple of years now.

[@theminerboy5694]

You're right. Although you do have to angle your character towards the attack a bit if you want to block properly.

[@muatring]

You can do that but it's much better to just move away from attacks instead of relying on a RNG based block, if you block, good, if you don't? you eat a attack for free, no point in blocking in this game.
